How do I delete form data in Microsoft Edge?

Published in Edge Browser Data 2 mins read

To delete specific autofill form data entries in Microsoft Edge, follow these steps:

Deleting a Specific Form Data Entry

You can delete a single unwanted autofill suggestion in Microsoft Edge using the same method as other Chromium-based browsers like Google Chrome:

  1. Type in the Field: Begin typing in the form field where the unwanted autofill suggestion appears.
  2. Highlight the Suggestion: Use the down arrow key on your keyboard or hover with your mouse to highlight the specific suggestion you want to remove.
  3. Delete the Suggestion: Press Shift + Delete on your keyboard. This will remove the selected autofill entry.

This method is quick and efficient for managing individual form data entries.

Additional Methods for Managing Form Data

While the above method targets specific entries, you may also want to consider:

  • Clearing all Autofill Data: If you wish to remove all saved form data, you can access it through the settings:
    1. Click the three dots (...) in the upper right-hand corner of Edge.
    2. Select Settings.
    3. Click on Privacy, search, and services.
    4. Under Clear browsing data, click on "Choose what to clear".
    5. Select a time range.
    6. Check the box next to "Autofill form data (includes forms and cards)".
    7. Click "Clear now".
  • Managing Saved Payment Information: You can manage saved credit card information (add, edit, delete) in Microsoft Edge's autofill settings.

By using these approaches, you can effectively manage and clear your form data in Microsoft Edge.
